Chapter 192: Shopping
After running around the city, Steward Yue finally negotiated all the decoration matters, and he was able to start renovating the weaving workshop in the afternoon.
After all, it was in the name of Cheng'an Wangfu, and ordinary people did not dare to refute face.
After the negotiation, Steward Yue went back to the palace to prepare to report on the relevant matters.
Not long after entering the palace, he was stopped by the palace guards and led to King Cheng'an's study.
"How are these days?"
Putting down the letter in his hand, Cheng'an King Zhao Gaoyu's face was pale.
Now that the situation in the capital is getting more and more severe, he is a little lucky, fortunately he didn't take the order to go to the capital some time ago because of the loss of his son.
News came from the capital and other directions, and I heard that the other three princes had received the holy decree and asked them to rush to the capital together.
But at this time, Xia Bohan, who was the head of the household, found an excuse and returned to his base camp Jiangnan from the capital.
Anyone with a little brain can smell something wrong from it.
The Fan family in Beijing is becoming more and more arrogant now, tsk.
Steward Yue, who was bent down in front of King Cheng'an, heard that the other party was asking Ye Hao about it, and hurriedly told all about the experience of the past few days.
In fact, it didn't matter much, it was nothing more than finding the former weavers to resume work and redecorating the weaving mill again.
Such a move is reasonable, and there is nothing to be noted.
That is, Ye Hao took out an improved version of the loom and asked the craftsmen to develop it with their brains, as well as today's generous shots.
Zhao Gaowei didn't have much interest in doing business and making money, so after listening to what he said, he was not interested.
In fact, he still has a doubt in his heart, after tasting Ye Hao's cooking skills, he is very curious that the other party has such amazing skills, why not open a restaurant?
Later, I thought that Fu Ru'an seemed to have a good relationship with the other party, and the former was based on opening a restaurant in Lingnan, so I was a little relieved.
"Well, you go down and do things with snacks."
After a salty and non-trivial admonition, Zhao Gaowei let Steward Yue leave.
He could see that his son was very dependent on Ye Hao, and he had to pester each other every day, like a mother and son.
Thinking of his wife who died early, King Cheng'an couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
He owes his wife and son too much, and if it weren't for his extremely sensitive status, his gentle and kind lady would not have been poisoned and died of excessive bleeding during childbirth.
hated that he didn't even have the chance and courage to take revenge, so he could only guard this huge palace and maintain the last glimmer of hope.
If the world is really in chaos, will you have a chance to take revenge?
As soon as such a thought entered Zhao Gaowei's mind, he was ruthlessly thrown out and continued to remain calm.
The attraction of the throne to several princes is very strong, and even King Cheng'an himself has to admit that occasionally he has desires in his heart.
But compared to that insignificant extravagance, his only son is the most important thing for him.
It's just a pity that even if he is not tempted, he still can't stop the suspicion of others.
The capital, the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, all the princes have found reasons to refuse your order to enter Beijing, which seems to be very disrespectful to you!"
Standing in the imperial study, he dared to criticize the people in the royal family, who was the head of the Fan family, Fan Heguang, who was about to become the prime minister.
As an old minister of the same generation as Xie Yunshu's father Xie Cheng, he is unusually aware of current affairs, and he has long figured out the temperament of this old emperor.
said that Fan Heguang is a female cadre, but in fact, it is only half right.
After all, he used to be an upright celebrity and an upright official.
But when a junior of the Fan family was appreciated by the emperor because he inadvertently patted his ass, the entire Fan family realized that if they wanted to climb up, they had to find another way.
Fan Heguang is undoubtedly the best among them, after all, he has brought down Prime Minister Xie Cheng, who is known as the pillar of the DPRK.
The old emperor sitting in the study was blowing his beard and glaring, looking at the fold in his hand, and fell down in anger.
"These wolf-minded guys! Do you want to rebel because I am getting older and older, and I have no children in the palace?!"
It has been almost a month since several holy decrees were sent out, and even the farthest King of Lingnan Cheng'an should have received it.
But none of these four princes left for the capital, not to mention, the excuses handed over were more perfunctory than the other.
Seeing the obviously unobtrusive reply on the fold, it was no wonder that the old emperor was so angry.
"Even that guy from the fifth brother has hardened his wings now, and he dares to resist my orders!"
The old emperor laughed angrily, and he was eager to immediately send an army to kill Lingnan directly.
In the past, Zhao Gaowei accepted all his orders, no matter how difficult it was, he never said a word, but now he dares to disobey.
Could it be that which senior official in the joint felt that he had a chance?
Thinking of Xia Bohan, the head of the household who left without saying a word a few days ago, the old emperor shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much.
With the strength of the Xia family controlling the entire Jiangnan, why bother to bet on Zhao Gaowei, a prince who has no ability, it is better to win over King Ruixian nearby!
Seeing that the old emperor was full of anger, Fan Heguang hurriedly stepped forward to strike while the iron was hot and offered his female plan.
"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of these princes for a day, it will be a big trouble for you! They don't listen to orders, and they think it's against them! Rather than wait for them to rebel, you should strike first."
In the old emperor's interested gaze, he told the plan he had designed, and sure enough, he won the appreciation of the other party.
"You've got a good plan, be rewarded! Hurry down and do it!"
Fan Heguang, who had been rewarded, returned to the mansion with a red face, and his heart was extremely happy.
Although the emperor had already agreed to the position of prime minister, and no one in the entire court dared to find his own fault, but if he did not sit on the position of prime minister for a day, he still couldn't fall into that stone in his heart after all.
Fan Heguang thought very well, as long as he helped the emperor to suppress a few princes, he would definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of prime minister!
At that time, even if there are still doubts in the DPRK and China, it will be useless.
"Master, there is no news of the people we sent to Lingnan so far."
Suddenly, a subordinate walked in and whispered.
Hearing the news, Fan Heguang frowned, and immediately waved his hand disapprerovingly.
"That's it, there's no news, there's no news, it's just a cripple, what else can you turn over?"
At the beginning, after his various remarks successfully provoked the relationship between Prime Minister Xie and the emperor, he immediately offered a plan to the emperor behind his back, asking him to behead the Xie family.
It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor would leave Xie Yunshu and his new wife behind and exile them to Lingnan.
In order to ensure that there were no worries, Yang Aofei was also deliberately stuffed into the exile team by Fan Heguang, in order to use his hand to eradicate Xie Yunshu.
It's just that he hasn't received accurate news all along, so Fan Heguang will send someone over to inquire about the news.
However, it had been several months, and there was no movement on the Lingnan side, and his heart was completely relaxed.
Now all the energy of the Fan family should be put on sending themselves to the position of prime minister.
Chengpingzhou County, North Street.
After Ye Hao came out of the weaving workshop, she began to walk along the street, her eyes constantly scanning the stalls and shops on both sides.
Since she came out of Qingcheng, she has been used to wearing a veil, and now she also covers her appearance, and she is not worried that she will be harassed inexplicably without Lin Bin by her side.
I have to say that the prosperity of Chengpingzhou County is indeed much higher than that of Qingcheng, just the North Street, all kinds of shops are dazzling, it is comparable to a city.
Ye Hao's destination is mainly some interesting stalls, where she bought a lot of useless but interesting gadgets and stuffed them in her arms.
Eventually, she stepped into a shop specializing in pearl hairpins, thinking about subsidizing some decorations for herself.
After all, their family has lived in the palace, and they are dressed too plain and simple like before, I am afraid that they will embarrass Xie Yunshu.
It's a girl's characteristic to like to buy and buy, especially some beautiful jewelry, which no girl can resist.
Ye Hao was the same, as soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the various exquisite pearls placed on the table.
Although the ancient craftsmanship is not as good as the modern one, it does not lose much in terms of this kind of ornament.
In the end, it is all handmade, and the level of detail can be seen.
Each hairpin in front of the counter is guarded by a different guy, and if a customer wants to try it on, they will come up to help and treat the hairpin in their hands carefully.
And those guys who saw that Ye Hao was not wearing any valuable jewelry on his body, although he didn't say anything on his face, his eyes automatically drifted away, and his tone was enthusiastic to serve those obviously richer guests.
Ye Hao was slightly dissatisfied with this, but she didn't care much about it.
Her gaze shifted to the pearl hairpins, which were beautiful, but they were too complicated.
What jewelry, gold and silver are piled up on the Internet, which does not conform to Ye Hao's aesthetics.
Finally, her gaze stayed on a bead hairpin in the corner and involuntarily walked over.
The structure of the pearl is very simple, it is carved into gold in the shape of a simple phoenix, and only two rubies are used to decorate the eyes.
Perhaps such a simple style is incompatible with other intricate styles in the store, and too few gemstone embellishments are not liked by customers.
Therefore, there was no guest in front of this pearl hairpin, and it was very deserted. Even the person in charge of the work of this pearl hairpin also looked lost.
After all, the customers who can come to such a store are either rich or expensive, and since they are ready to spend a lot of money to buy a pearl hairpin, they are more inclined to spend more to buy a more favorite one.
Ye Hao walked to the counter and said to the guy:
"Can I try it?"
Suddenly asked, the guy was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he didn't care about the other party's simple clothes, and immediately nodded.
"I'll help you."
As he spoke, he took out the beads in the box and handed them to Ye Hao.
took the beaded hairpin and inserted it into his bun, and the guy next to him hurriedly brought the bronze mirror for her to watch.
Looking at the vague figure on the surface of the bronze mirror, Ye Hao was silent, thinking in her heart, if she melted some silver to make a mirror, would she be arrested in the official mansion?
The thought in her heart flashed, and she pulled the corners of her mouth, this bronze mirror is really not clear, but she still likes this pearl hairpin.
"Do you want to put down the veil first?" It's not appropriate to wear a veil, and you can't see if it's appropriate."
The guy didn't see her dislike of the bronze mirror, but suggested it intimately.
Many young ladies from large families who have not left the cabinet will wear veils when they go out, and some women who don't want to see people will also wear them, so they don't feel that there is anything wrong with Ye Hao.
It's just that if you want to try on a hairpin, you have to take off the veil to see if it's suitable, right?
Hearing this, Ye Hao hesitated for a moment, but still planned to solve it.
Although she couldn't see clearly in this bronze mirror, she didn't want to be kind.
Besides, there are basically women in this bead hairpin shop, and there are only a few men, so there should be no historical incidents of being harassed.
